I've checked most of the threads in this forum and havent seen anything about DNS error messages from Versamail. I know DNS is domain namer server and this problem must reflect Versamail failing to conect to PCS vision properly to get to the internet to poll the POP server for Gmail or my ISP.

About 75% of the time, whether I manually connect to my Gmail or my ISP account Cox , the connection fails and I get the dreaded "connection failed check DNS settings" message. Sometimes VM will not cycle through the service connection process at all when I manually check email. Sometimes it connects then gives me the DNS error messgae. Autosync nearly ALWAYS fails. Sometimes it works. Usually when the VM connection doesnt work manually or by autosync, there is no Vision connection arrows present above the signal bars, hence no DNS can be located. But why is the vision connection failing? My settings must be right to work at all, right? I've checked and rechecked them. If I get connected, VM sends and receives fine.

Second, sometimes when it fails I can get Versamail to work by launching Blazer to get a Vision connection, and then check Versamail. Sometimes this fails too.
There seems to be no ryhme or reason and I am losing patience big time.
Any thoughts? Crappy, buggy software? Using VM version 3.0.

did you ever resolve this? i have exactly the same issues - bad connections, picking up one e-mail at a time and then disconnecting, getting bad PPP messages, 'check dns' messages, etc. all that crap.
this after using the built in mail software on the 600 for months with very few problems.

Nope, and more problems now. I installed the universal bluetooth keyboard driver from Palmeone last night and now versamail crashes the phone every time I try to launch it. I am about to smash this piece of junk on the floor!!!

Honestly I've heard more problems with Versamail users than anything else. My versamail works fine on several accounts.
- I just set it to download the first 5kb of the messages.
- Also set it to get only today's email. It has a tendency to re-download mail you've previouslydeleted on your handheld.
- Finally I don't allow it to sync email with my laptop as the latter has about 2 GB of POP email stored.
